The Happiest Place on Earth
UPDATE: James has his photos from the trip up. Here's one:
I just finished up a very quick weekend in Disneyland. It was a trip down to see my sister and her family. Trying to see people before I do the big move. I think I timed things just right. The weather in L.A. up until the weekend was rainy and cold. Saturday and Sunday were both warm and Sunny. Of course, with the weekends come the crowds, but we did very well with the rides and did several E-ticket rides multiple times.
It was great to see the world of Disney through the actions of an almost 4-year-old. Cait had things she really liked (Alice in Wonderland!) and things she didn't ("Cait, do you want to go on Pirates of the Caribbean with Uncle Bill?" "No!"). It was nice having four adults (James' sister Mandy was a very nice fourth 'adult' addition) to wrangle the kids. This let the big kids hit the "Mom, that's too fast" rides in turn.
Some new things for me this time. The highlight would be the the new Hollywood Tower of Terror, a very fun drop ride. Also, the Winnie the Pooh ride was new. Last time I was there, it was the now-gone Bear Country Jamboree. A lot of the attractions are currently closed to get spruced up for the big 50th, but it was still a very fun time.
There are pictures in Jamey's camera and when they are posted, I'll edit this post with a link. Caitlyn made sure that we took a picture with each other so we wouldn't need to be sad when we left each other. I can't wait to see it!
Well, this is posted from around 40,000 feet as I head for Spain. I'll be there for a week, then it is on to Turkey for a week. Both are for work, but I'll have a few days in Izmir to start my search for a residence. My camera is with me, of course...

Andrea here. I'm so jealous that you get to go to a nifty foreign country for work. I'll have to take solace in living vicariously through this blog and your beautiful pictures. I know you may not be able to make it back for the reunion or the wedding, but I hope to see you at one or the other (if you have to choose, come to the reunion!). I'll miss seeing you in either case. Rob and I are going to Greece for our honeymoon, but maybe we'll put Turkey on our list for our 2006 vacation. You lucky dog!
